Every The Bean Shop coffee we track, priced per cup, and which bag is actually the cheap one.
Coffee is sold by the bag and drunk by the cup, and the two almost never rank in the same order. A The Bean Shop bag that looks dear on the shelf can turn out to be the cheapest thing here once you divide it out, and the one that looks like a bargain often is not. So here is every The Bean Shop coffee we track, across whole bean, on one honest unit.

A middle-of-the-road medium roast, black or white, for below the going rate.

What The Bean Shop coffee costs
The range runs from 58p to 71p a cup across 23 products. That is a 1.2× spread inside a single brand, which is why "is The Bean Shop expensive" is the wrong question; the right one is which bag you pick. The cheapest is Espresso Blend in the 250g, and the dearest is Dark Caramel Chocolate 120G/4.2OZ in the 120g.
| Product | Format | Size | Per cup | Per kg |

| Old Brown Java | whole bean | 250g | £0.58 | £32.00 |
Bags themselves run £4.75 to £9.50. Ignore that column. A bigger bag costs more and almost always costs less per cup, which is the only number that follows you home.
The one to buy
If you buy one thing from The Bean Shop, buy Espresso Blend. At 58p a cup it comes in around 9% under the median for whole bean coffee, and that is measured against every brand in our catalogue rather than against The Bean Shop's own list prices. Nothing else in the range gets close on that test.

How to pay less for it
- Read the per-cup column, not the shelf price. They order differently more often than not.
- Buy the biggest bag you will finish in about six weeks. Pack size moves the per-kilo price further than anything else on this page.
- Check whether the same coffee turns up in a larger bag further down the range. It often does, at a lower rate.
- Check again before you reorder. Whoever was cheapest last month frequently is not.
